Businessman Nissim Djaldati, who was previously convicted in 2016 and 2017 of taking over the business of oligarch Alexei Zakharenkoshark, and only a year ago it was determined that he would pay tax on income totaling NIS 33 million, is in trouble again. An indictment was filed against Djaldati on Thursday for fraud, theft by an authorized person and more, after defrauding a prisoner who was in prison with him of more than one million shekels.
According to the indictment, the complainant served a prison sentence in Ma'ayahu Prison until his release from prison where he met Nassim Djaldati, who was also serving a prison sentence. During the joint stay of Djaldati and the complainant in prison, he told him about his wonders in the capital market in order to lure him into investing money, through it, in order to defraud him, inter alia for the purpose of paying taxes and a deposit that Djaldati undertook to pay as part of a settlement in appeal proceedings in his previous case.

Among other things, Djaldetti told the complainant that he was going to acquire, through the court, control of a publicly traded company, which has a patent in the silicon industry, and then issue it. Djaldati offered the complainant to invest NIS 1,000,000, in return for which he would be entitled to register as the owner of 2.5% of the share capital in a company that would acquire 20% of the public company, and that the value of the company on the day of investment was set at NIS 40 million, which would make the complainant who got out of prison a rich man.
Later, Djaldati told him that court approval had been obtained for the purchase of the stock exchange skeleton and the execution of the transaction, and that it had been purchased for NIS 8 million, and therefore the controlling shareholders had to transfer their share. The complainant's share is NIS 250,000, which the complainant must transfer within 90 days, in favor of the court, to the account of the trustee lawyer connected to the stock exchange skeleton transaction, to transfer the money to the court, in order to purchase the stock exchange skeleton.
The complainant was very impressed by the fact that the trustee to whom the money would be transferred was someone who was a police commissioner and was tempted by the deal. Djaldati urged the complainant to sell a house in Netivot so that he could deposit the entire sum of NIS 1,000,000 and within 90 days, the down payment of NIS 250,000. Immediately upon his release from prison, the complainant immediately put the house up for sale, found a buyer and received from him an advance payment of NIS 250,000, which he transferred to a trustee who had nothing to do with the stock exchange skeleton transaction and knew nothing about it, and thought that the payment was in favor solely for the payment as part of a settlement in Dzhaldetti's appeal. The trustee, the lawyer, did not know that he was actually an accomplice to the fraud and transferred the money to the Tax Authority in order to repay the debt. After the money was transferred, he notified the court, as part of the settlement to end the appeal process, and Dzhaldetti was released from prison as a licensed prisoner.

However, this was not enough for Djaldati and he approached the complainant again and offered him to invest another quarter of a million in shares of a public company in return for a profit of NIS 20,100 a month. However, the complainant gave him only 750,22 shekels, except for another 000,<> shekels, which was converted into foreign currency and given to Dzhaldati in cash, from which a commission was deducted for an unusual amount of <>,<> shekels.
The indictment states that "for the sum of one million shekels, the complainant received nothing, and Djaldati did nothing about purchasing or allocating any shares for the complainant, but withdrew the money in cash into his pocket. Djaldati left the deceived complainant empty-handed and returned only the sum of NIS 100,000, after the complainant pressed for his money back after his hopes of receiving a monthly return of thousands of shekels from the investment were dashed."
